Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Counting Sheep

When counting sheep on sleepless nights
   fails to make me sleep
 I count the stars  in vaulted heights
   that through my window peep

    Then  lullabies from up on high
  bring my soul to rest
     In dreams I fly across the sky
  in slumber's peaceful quest
                  ----

Carolyn Devonshire June 16, 2020 at 1:58 PM Joseph, this would have placed higher if not for the grammar. Should be counting fails in the first verse and lullabies bring in the second. Congrats on your placement. Joseph May June 16, 2020 at 2:29 PM Thank you for my placement Carolyn, sorry about the grammar misses
